WATER-CLOSET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,752, dated February 6, 1883, Application filed October 27, 1882. (No inodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DARIUS WELLINGTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Closets; and I do hereby declare that the same are fully described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

This'invention relates to improvements in water-closet-bowls; and it is carried out as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, on which- Figure 1 represents a plan view of the improved bowl. Fig.2representsa cen tral longitudinal section on. the line A B, shown in Fig.

'1. Fig. 3 represents a cross-section on the line 0 D, also shown in Fig. l; and Fig. 4 represents a horizontal section on the line E F, shown in Fig. 2. g

Similarletters refer to similar parts wherever they occur on the different parts of the drawlngs. l

a is the bowl, with its inwardly projecting flange or lip, a, between which and the inside of the bowl is made a small space, a, through which water is automatically forced from a suitable cistern when the pressure upon the ordinary yielding seat'is relieved, the improved bowl being intended to be used in'connection with a yielding seat, the latter being, however, not shown in the drawings. I

Within the upper edge of the bowl or is made an annular chamber, 0, and a hooked annular projection, c,-the annular chamber a being made to communicate with the smallwater- 7 way a, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The annular chamber 0 is in open communication with jection 0' serves to hold the water in the an-,

nular chamber cfrom being-forced out too suddenly nearest to the inlet-pipe at when let in from the cistern, and to compel the water to issue simultaneously all around the upper edge ofthe bowl when leaving the seat. The upper edge of the annular hooked projection c is proc, which will permit the water to flow evenly and easily from the annular chamber 0 without creating a serious back-pressure in such chamber 0. 1f the pressure in the annular chamber 0 is increased, the water will be forced out in a continuous sheet all over the top of the hooked projection c, and out through the annular space a" into the bowl to.

At the rear of the bowl a are arranged two inlets, 0 0 one to the right and one to the left of the rear end of the bowl, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. One of saidinlets is to be closed up and the other connected by means of a pipe to a suitable cistern in such a manner as to cause a small quantity of water to be forced into the annular chamber 0 and out through the small perforation 01, leading from the front portion of the annular chamber 0 to the internal front part of the bowl, when a pressure is brought liquid seal f to prevent noxious gases from rising upward.

g is the waste-pipe, as usual.

h is a pipe at the rear of the bowl, which pipe communicates in its upper end with the annular chamber 0, as shown, and follows the back of the bowl downward into the bottom of it, Where it is curved upward and provided with an orifice, h, entering the liquid sealf, for the purpose of automatically forcing out from the bottom of the bowl paper or other matter that may be liable to lodge there. ing much smaller than the bottom of the bowl, the water is forced through it from the inletpipe d with great force, so as to create a strong current, and thus to expel soil and paper et fectually through the waste-pipe g when the pressure on the seatis relieved.

The lower portion or base of the bowl or is made to rest in a cast-iron plate, 11, having an upwardly-projecting flange, 11, into which the base of the bowl and lower part of waste-pipe g are fitted and cemented, as shown in Figs. 2

and 3, such plate being provided with a down The pipe h bewater-on tlet, a, and rear force-pipe, h, leadin g from the annular chamber 0 and entering at the bottom of the bowl, substantially as described. 2. In combination with a water-closet bowl, the cast-iron or metal base plate 6, having flange t" and socket i, as and for the purpose set forth-and described. i In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in prescnceof two witnesses.

DARIUS WELLINGTON.
